Drug Court

Drug Court is a judicially monitored three Phase Intervention program for adults involved in the Criminal Justice System due to non-violent, drug/alcohol motivated offenses, who have a difficulty remaining clean and sober.

The Fond du Lac Drug Court Program began in 2014 after Fond du Lac County was granted a federal grant. The Drug Court Coordinator oversees the twelve to eighteen-month treatment program for those participating in the Fond du lac County Drug Court. Treatment is designed for non-violent participants with substance abuse issues. Entry into the Program requires a Drug Court contract agreement between the Fond du Lac County District Attorney’s Office, Defense Counsel and the participant. Participants may also enter the program through a referral from the Department of Corrections and family members may make contact with the defense attorney regarding a referral to Drug Court.
